Parental vitamin

Question

Hi everyone! I’m new to glow. I have a 3 year old toddler and ttc again. I believe I took nature made vitamins last time but now I hear folate is better than folic acid. Any recommendations? Has anyone used ritual vitamins? Thanks!!!

Answer

I recommend this all the time.it has all bioavaiable vitamins including folate, no nasties like preservatives or artificial things.  I took it before, during and after pregnancy and my baby is such a healthy child

Answer

This is what I use, a friend who just had a baby recommended them, they don’t upset my stomach at all but they do smell awful.

Answer

Yes you’re right that folate is better than folic acid. Folic acid is the man-made version of methylfolate, and it requires your body to convert it before absorbing it. Folate is already converted so your body has no trouble absorbing it, especially for people who have the MTHFR gene mutation without knowing it. 
I like prenatals that are food-based because they’re much easier for your body to absorb and they don’t upset your time if taken on an empty stomach. Garden of Life is one of my favorite brands and I like this organic version and the raw version the most. Another great brand is Megafood Baby and Me 2, but I’ve been taking the garden of life ones because they have 800mg methylfolate instead of 600. If you’re under 35 then 600mg is perfectly fine, but if you’re over 35 it’s recommended to take at least 800. These vitamins don’t have DHA so you also need to take a fish oil or DHA supplement.
